Students were not "denied their deplomas." Instead, they were denied participation in the remainder of the graduation ceremony after violating rules informed of & agreed to in advance, picking up their diplomas at the school administration office later.
The graduation ceremony is a school sponsored & financed event (not a right guaranteed students), thus the school has an absolute right to set rules regarding conduct and deny participation for students violating those rules.
You should see college graduation...it's a blast! I graduated twice...we had beach balls, people did the moon walk on the stage, people decorated their caps and wore elvis sunglasses. It was awesome! Wish high school graduations are as festive.
The administrator was already frustrated due to previous disruptive incidents with beach balls & such... So when this kid took a bow & blew a kiss she pounced on him...
It's like a mom with two kids - one's being a disrespectful brat & has her on edge, so when the other kid asks mom an innocent question she damn near snaps his head off.
This lady screwed up. Should we crucify her? no. Does the kid deserve his diploma & a sincere apology? YES.
I heard about this school, it is pretty fucked up but you used a really bad analogy. Its like watching a football game and the team won, and the fans are going crazy! so the ref. says they didn't win, but this is still pretty fucked up. and VERY TIGHT ASS people.
What bothers me about this is that a stupid school rule is trying to prevent these students in having a good future and forcing them to work at a dead end job for the rest of their life.
I went to this school and graduated in this class. We had 3 meetings or more, got more than 5 papers all regarding holding applause till everyone has crossed the stage. Not only that but we and our parents signed a contract saying they would not have outburst and if there was they wouldn't get there diploma. None of the people who didn't get their diploma graduated with honors. I don't think any of them even took an honors class. Those people and their families are all animals
Hey all, yeah this was a huge disaster at our high school! I graduated with honors in the top 7% of my class and this thing was crap. you only graduate once and i feel as though we should have been able to cheer! nevertheless 4 of the 5 students received their diplomas because they went after it with a lawyer! ha it's great to be out of that school!!
well im from that high school that, that happened at and all the students were also black there were 11 people that got aplauded 6 white 5 black only the 5 blacks were denied diploma's taht is racist
It's wrong but I'd be lying if I said a part of me didn't like that that happened. I didn't have very many people to cheer for me at my graduation so it bothered me that others had so many. :(

It boils down to this...
The administrator was already frustrated due to previous disruptive incidents with beach balls & such... So when this kid took a bow & blew a kiss she pounced on him...

Education system in the US is clearly ineffective, right from the start when children enters Elementary School.

It doesn't matter, you should know what's bullshit and what isn't.
THAT RULE is some tight assed bullshit.
It's a retarded nitpick created for superficial reasons.
